It's Wednesday again

and I still haven't lost any more weight. I was 220 this morning, but since last weeks snow storm I haven't done anything to help me loose the weight.

Today would have been my Dad's 75 birthday, so I am having a hard time doing anything. He was killed three years ago in a car accident, people who do not stop for red lights and stop signs should have to listen to a tape of my Mom when the police came to the door. Over and Over and Over again.

I miss you Dad, every day.

Let it Snow

The only exercise I have gotten the last couple of days is dressing the girls to go out and play in the snow. Starting on Wednesday afternoon we have received rain, sleet, ice and then 6-8 inches of snow. I haven't gone out with a ruler yet to measure for an exact total. So no school for the past two days, no driving unless necessary because the snow on top of the ice makes for really stupid drivers. I have been cross stitching, passion #2 and sitting in front of the wood stove making sure it keeps burning. I will go outside and play with the DDs in a few minutes and take pictures because, living here in Kansas it is very possible that the snow will be gone tomorrow.

Wednesday Weigh in

If I go by what I weighed this morning 220.5 I have only gained a 1/2 a pound over Thanksgiving which I believe is a blessing.
If I go by what I weighed last night I am 219.

How can I gain 1.5 lbs over night????? Oh well on with the show as they say. It is grey and gloomy today so I think I will take DD#2 to Wal-mart and walk around the store, working on my steps goal.

The days after

I went to curves this morning and had a good time. Three times around the circut. I have been unable to do the leg press, my hips are really bothering me since my surgery. I guess it's back to the Chiropractor for me.

Tomorrow is weigh in and I am scared.... The Lasagna was way way way too good.

Before I induldge

in Thanksgiving dinner and the left overs that follow. I just wanted to put in writting that I was 220 lbs this morning a downward movment. Exercise is not always were I want it to be, but I have tried really hard to watch what goes in my mouth. Today is my one day off for the week.

That said HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone. Now I am off to check on the Lasagna (we don't like turkey) and all of the other things that need to be done and on the table at 1:30.

On Children

DD#2 has a cold and was up from about 01:00 on because she can not breath.
DD#1 has a black hole in her brain that seems to absorb all of the information about what homework she has until it is too late. Then she gets defensive (just like her father) when I call her on it and take away privileges until she can prove worthy of them again. It's a good thing it is going to be a long weekend before I have to go through the, what homework do you have tonight question. One Turkey into a princess story is enough.
I wore my pedometer today but since I spent most of the day with a small girl on my lap I didn't get my numbers up where they should be. I have decided that since my numbers were so low to begin with I should try for a more obtainable goal and so have set my goal at 5000 or more steps instead of the 10,000. I don't want to set myself up for failure so early in the program. Right now I am at 3619 steps, I am going to go jog on the mini tramp and try to get it at or about 5000 before bed time.
I did keep to my diet, which is amazing since I made pancakes from scratch tonight, one of my favorite meals. I didn't eat everything that was left, instead I only ate my two and wrapped the others up for DD#1s breakfast tomorrow.

Lazy Sunday

No wonder I have gained so much weight. I relaxed on Sunday, and when I checked my pedometer that night I had 4362, less than 1/2 the 10,000 recommended for loosing or maintaining weight. Combine that with all of the eating I did because my hormones were raging out of control. And PLFFFFT, I blew up the Harry Potter's Aunt without the ability to be deflated by magic. Eating did go well, I ate only one helping of things and had a snack of popcorn which I shared with DD#2 and Dh so I didn't eat it all myself. Oh well Mondays another day, back on the 10,000 track.
